University of Texas Charter School

We provide an individualized education for our students at our on-site schools. We maintain small classroom sizes, one-on-one instruction when necessary, and tutoring to ensure our students reach their maximum potential. We strive to instill an intrinsic motivation for the children to learn and fully prepare them to reintegrate into a public school setting.

  • TEA certified and highly qualified teachers in each on site school of 10.
  • Self-paced curriculum and computer-based instruction (CBI) for credit recovery and learning gaps.
  • Special education counselors, inclusion teachers and transition coordinators available for all students
  • Electives include strategic reading and math
